6.7 Configuring the Driver in iManager

To import the WorkOrder driver configuration in iManager:

  1. In iManager, select Identity Manager Utilities > Import Configurations.

  2. Select an existing driver set or select a new driver set.

  3. If you selected an existing driver set, continue with Step 4.

    or

    If you placed the driver in a new driver set, skip to Step 5.

  4. If you selected an existing driver set:

    1. Browse to and select the driver set, then click Next.

    2. Skip to Step 7.

  5. If you selected to place the driver in a new driver set, click Next, then define the properties of the new driver set:

    1. Specify the name of the driver set.

    2. Browse to and select the context where the driver set is created.

    3. Browse to and select the server you want to associate with the driver set.

    4. Select the Create a new partition on this driver set option.

    5. Click Next.

      Novell recommends that you create a partition for the driver object. For Identity Manager to function, the server that is associated with the driver set must hold a real replica of the Identity Manager object. If the server holds a Master or Read/Write replica of the context where the WorkOrder objects are created, the partition is not required.

  6. Select how you want the driver configurations sorted:

    • All configurations

    • Identity Manager 3.5 configurations

    • Identity Manager 3.0 configurations

    • Configurations not associated with an IDM version

  7. Select the WorkOrder driver, then click Next.

  8. Define the driver parameters, then click Next.

    For information on the settings, see Section 6.5, Configuration Information.

  9. Assign security rights to the WorkOrder driver object:

    1. Select Define Security Equivalences.

    2. Click Add, then browse to and select a user object that has the rights the driver needs to have on the server.

      Many administrators give the WorkOrder object security equivalence to the Administrator User object in the Identity Vault. However, you might want to create another object, such as a DriversUser, and assign security equivalence to that user.

      Whatever object you select must have Read/Write access to all objects the driver will read or write.

    3. Click OK twice.

  10. Exclude the administrative roles from replication.

    1. Select Exclude Administrative Roles.

    2. Click Add.

    3. Browse to the Identity Vault and select the security-equivalence object that you specified in Step 9 (for example, DriversUser) and exclude the object from replication.

      IMPORTANT:If you delete the security-equivalence object, you remove the rights from the driver. Consequently, the driver can’t make changes to Identity Manager.

      If there are objects that are currently excluded, they do not appear in the Excluded users list unless you select Retrieve Current Exclusions.

    4. Click OK twice.

  11. Click Next.

  12. View the summary, then click Finish.
